Arrow Prayers are Short but Effective
Our prayers needn’t be long and sprinkled with big words in order for God to listen. God hears and answers even the briefest cries for help.

Let’s be open and teachable. Let’s place ourselves at the Master’s feet and invite Him to teach us whatever we need to learn.
Jesus is all about setting us free from bondage. There are no cookie-cutter answers for our tough issues, but He is more than willing and able to help us.
Listen to Him. Ultimately Christ’s voice is the one we ought to heed, and for good reason. He is life and truth. He is wisdom and love.
The answer to all three questions is “God Almighty.” Be encouraged knowing He’s fully aware of your situation. Surrender your cares to Him.
Today a new leadership has been established in the United States. Your Word says that You ordain authorities and rulers, so we trust Your choice (Romans 13:1).
I expect God to respond. His answer may not be what I wish, but I expect it to be the best answer possible because He is too wise and loving to make a mistake.
Would you join me in praying for people whose Christmas is anything but joyful? A prayer to know Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and find comfort in His presence.
For the past thirteen months God has cradled, comforted and corrected me. And now I sense He’s bringing me into a new season. He’s giving me a new song to sing.
When we’re walking in consistent fellowship with Him, then we’ll be better prepared to meet those challenges head-on with the grace and wisdom
We pray and He listens. He never puts us on hold while He takes another person’s request. He never asks us to contact Him at a more convenient time.
For what do you need the Lord’s help? May I encourage you today with God’s truth? Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.
The weekend that celebrates freedom and independence for both Canada and the United States comes after a horrific series of terrorist attacks around the world.
Here’s a prayer from St. Patrick—the words calm my heart and help me focus on Christ. Take a few minutes to ponder them, and may they bless you in the same way.
The three words that change everything are – “but the LORD.” Don’t fear or wring your hands in distress. Instead, pray. Pray and expect God to answer.
By kneeling or bowing before Jesus, I acknowledge that He is worthy of honor and praise. I communicate to Him that I am unreservedly His servant.
No matter our situation or the decisions we face, God promises to guide us and give us wisdom. With that in mind, here’s a prayer you might find helpful.
Greater intimacy with the Lord—the One who gave His all for me – is my goal. And that’s why I maintain spiritual disciplines.
One of my daily prayers is, “Jesus, make me aware of Your presence.” His answers never cease to amaze me, and reminds me He is very much involved with my life.
Regardless of how we feel about having honest conversations with God, the truth is that He wants to hold them with us. So, let’s do it.
Sometimes God calls us to a task that seems ludicrous. Our human nature wants to know the details before we say yes. But that’s not how God works.
Even when emotions tell us that He is far away, the truth remains–He is with us. May this truth encourage you today, my friend.
The enemy of our soul whispers lies bent on our destruction, but the Holy Spirit speaks words meant to strengthen and encourage us. Listen well, my friend.
I grew up praying specifically so I could see God answer in specific ways. But perhaps my so-called specific prayers are my way of telling God what to do.
The enemy may be trying to defeat you through difficult or painful circumstances, but he’s fighting a losing battle because God is on your side.
God knows what we need before we know know we need it. And He’s already figured out the solution or necessary provision.
Teeny sips of Jesus, so to speak, might quench our thirst momentarily, but they’re not enough for the long haul. Drink deeply and find your thirst quenched.
Prayer is first and foremost. But sometimes it’s not enough. God does His part, but He expects us to get involved and do ours, too.
Because conversation with the King reminds us that we’re completely dependent upon Him for everything–even our next breath. It helps us get to know Him.
The methods God uses to communicate with us are endless. We simply need ears to hear and a heart that’s willing to accept His answer.
Disclosing our struggles to a trusted godly friend can help ease the burden we carry. Knowing we’re not alone brings the encouragement needed to persevere.
How can we be intentional? Every time we catch ourselves thinking or saying something negative about our situation, let’s turn it around with a praise song
My behaving like a mother hen won’t ensure my loved ones’ happiness and safety. There comes a time when I must step aside and trust God with their lives.
Psalm 37:23 runs through my mind: “The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Every detail. Even house paint.
Who would have guessed that God had such a surprise for us? Not I. Indeed, God is able to do more than we could ever ask or imagine. He just proved it again.
Jesus is the Vine. We are the branches. Maintaining a strong and vibrant connection with Him results in a fruitful life that brings much glory to God.
